In six Local Government Areas of Lagos State, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has imposed an indefinite and total ban on the operation of commercial motorcycles known as ‘Okada.’
Sanwoolu’s order comes after a Sound Engineer was beaten to death and set on fire by some Okada riders over a N100 change in the state’s Lekki area a few days ago.
On Wednesday, the Governor issued an order to all Divisional Police Officers and Area Commanders in the state.
